The following passage in that section is a bit unclear to me:
It is also expected that while the Targeted Developer is unable to
actively contribute to public and professional education for
whatever
reason (eg. absence of volunteers) that they will be researching
and
increasing their experience by contributing to new ways to advance
the
free software and standards in their particular Target Areas.
Can you clarify what that means in practice?
Ah - it is the extension of the rationale how the development itself
fits the TDF mission, ie. doesn't make that much sense without the
previous paragraph that starts "Why is it important to major on
mentoring".
So how about: "Development per se is not part of TDF mission, but it is
expected that while a mentor is unable to actively contribute to public
and professional education for whatever reason (eg. absence of
volunteers) that they will be researching and increasing their
experience by contributing to new ways to advance the free software and
standards in their particular Target Areas."
Does it make more sense this way?
I'd be curious to know what would be (from the point of TDF's mission /
statutes) the difference between working on the source code by in-house
developers and by tendering and paying a commercial company for doing
this work?
I only could see the difference that in one case TDF has full control
and has not to pay for the benefit of a commercial company. And thus in
the first case could get reach more targets / tickets done than in the
latter case from my point of view.
But maybe I'm totally wrong and have no knowledge of the real market
economy.

Andreas
